- "Someone tipped off the Imperials. They knew exactly where my people were meeting."
- ―Del Hunter
A skirmish took place on Kabaira in 3 BBY during the Imperial Era.
The skirmish
A secret meeting between Kabairan rebels in the city of Eponte was attacked by Galactic Empire troopers after they where informed by a rebel traitor: Blaide. Six rebels were killed. Chaz Hunter and Blaide were captured and jailed in the Imperial headquarters. Other rebels—the leader, Dodger; a female Rebel; and Chaz's father, Del Hunter—escaped. Severely injured, Del Hunter was rescued by a friend, free-trader Captain Tere Metallo, in the Eponte Spaceport. However, Metallo's second, Imperial deserter Matt Turhaya, was recognized by an Imperial lieutenant and arrested during the search for Rebels.
Tere Metallo agreed to help the rebels infiltrate the Imperial headquarters in order to free Turhaya and the captured Rebels. Metallo and the female rebel accessed the cells thanks to the latter's disguise as an Imperial medic. They liberated Matt Turhaya, Chaz Hunter and Blaide and left the buildings. They were about to escape when Blaide revealed his treachery and tried to kill Metallo. Turhaya was injured saving her, and Metallo shot Blaide. They eventually arrived to the spaceport, and the Rebels fled Kabaira in Tere Metallo's Star Quest. The ship was attacked by Z-95 Headhunters during the escape, but it escaped swiftly into hyperspace.
